Smug Lion Is Smug

This is my favorite smug library lion in the whole world. Not that I have seen every library lion…but I know in my heart there is not one to beat him. I just do. Instead of using the random number generator, we could have a single ongoing digital-camera global lion [...]

Beloved, Belated

OOPS the blog went dark! I am not dead. I am just insane. You know, because probably you are insane right now, too. It is the end of the school year, replete with every form of kidly concert and exams and school project and end of year fall-de-loll-de-doodle possible. Backseat Saints launches in three weeks.

Things to Look At, Click, and Do

This is the Benecio del Toro of turtles. He will kill ALL of you.

1) A Mysterious Fan named “frank” sent me a video message via Monkey Courier. DEAR Lord. SO WEIRD. The urinal background leads me to believe that EITHER this mysterious fan is my favorite author (Frank Turner Hollon), or I need [...]
